Default Mini On Piston Heads

Hey guys

Asked about a mini on piston heads, http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/732481.htm

The car was advertised cheap so though it was worth a crack.

Heres comes the scam/ sorry meant the reply lol

Hi,
Thank you for your email. I can tell you that the car is in perfect condition. Never involved in accidents. I take good care of it and I can tell you for sure that if you will purchase the car from me you will be more then satisfied with it. It runs great and it comes with all the original papers and documents. I am selling this car for the listed price including delivery anywhere in UK.I set at a "very, very low" price to guarantee a sale. The only reason is that I need cash for a family emergency. I have to tell you that I'm currently out of town with some major problems so pick up/view is not an option. If you want to buy this vehicle email me back with your full name and address to start the official procedure trough PistonHeads. They will send you a notification with ALL the info regarding delivery, purchase protection and refund policy so please provide your details before more questions. You will find 90% of answers in that notification from Pistonheads!
Thanks



Do they think we are stupid lol

Anyway I thought I will start having some games with this guy, Let see how stupid he is..

My reply:

Hi
Thanks for getting back to me.

My name is Mike Litoris

No3 labia Street
Sphincter
Kent
KL1 1TT

I look forward to hearing from you, can you please tell me if the power steering is ok on this mini?
Can you also tell me if all the panels are original without any Plasticine in them?

Do you need the money sent via bank transfer? I'm with Northern rock, But would like to send the money through Bradford and Bingley as they have an excellent National record for transfering money. Is this ok?

Many thanks
Mike

They guy is not british, Its a generic page that they use and have just altered the word EBAY to PISTONHEADS.

I,m guessing the person probably cant speak any english so will not understand what I have written and will forward me the payment transfer page next.

Will keep you posted on this

Have to admit I have seen that page on ebay a few times... Mainly for GP's... The question about 'how good the rear seats are' usually gets them...

Sent him this:

Hi I have the payment details and will get this sorted out.

Can you verify again that the power steering is good, Its very important to me that this works well.
Also is the flux capacitor working? You can find this by looking into the engine bay at the top right corner. (small yellow box)
Not far from the power steering pump and the 4 wheel drive selector union.

I would prefer to send the money by bank transfer ideally, Does it have to be western union?
